play video from a forms client server application

Have a 12.2.1.2 forms client server application running on weblogic server(also 12.2.1.2).  Client and server are different machines.  What I would like is for a video to be played for the user to watch when they make a selection (in this case it is in a help menu so its basically a mouse click or button pressed event).  I'm unsure of how to do this.

I found an example on the web of how to do it in 10g here: http://www.drdobbs.com/database/videos-and-oracle-forms-10g/212800145 which, according to the site, was arrived at after consulting oracle support

But the mod_plsql module no longer exists in 12c.  The 12c release documentation says this functionality can be replaced with REST data services.  So is this the best way to proceed (by implementing a REST data service to replace the mod_plsql functionality) or is there another way to implement this functionality in this newer release of forms and weblogic?
